Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Make your answer clearer and more natural. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using correct grammar and linking words. Correct verb forms (e.g., taught, enjoyed) and avoid unintelligible fragments. Keep it concise (max 4–5 sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I had a small red bike that my father taught me to ride when I was six. I enjoyed riding it around the neighbourhood every weekend because it made me feel free and allowed me to play with my friends. Those memories are still very special to me.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Give a clear direct answer and support it with a specific reason and an example. Use linking words (because, however) and correct grammar and word order. Replace vague phrases and hesitations with precise language and stay concise. For balance, you can briefly mention an exception if relevant.
Ví dụ: Not really. Most people in my country prefer cars for commuting because there is heavy traffic and public transport is limited. However, bicycles are becoming more common in smaller towns and among students who want to avoid traffic and save money.
× Yes I did, when I was a child I had a bike and my dad always teach me how to ride a bike.
✓ Yes, I did. When I was a child I had a bike and my dad always taught me how to ride it.
The verbs refer to past actions, so they must be in past tense. 'teach' is present; change to past 'taught'. Also add comma and split into two sentences for clarity, and replace 'a bike' with 'it' to avoid repetition.
× I really enjoyed it when I lot of buy I feel like you.
✓ I really enjoyed it; I felt happy and free when I rode my bike.
Original sentence is ungrammatical and contains fragments and unclear words ('lot of buy'). Replace with a coherent past-tense sentence matching context. Use past tense 'felt' to match 'enjoyed' and 'rode' to describe activity.
× No, I don't think actually in my country people usually use a car to go to work because my country quite a traffic jam.
✓ No, I don't think so. In my country people usually use cars to go to work because there is quite a lot of traffic jam.
Problems: sentence order and verb 'do not think actually' is awkward—use 'I don't think so'. 'Car' should be plural 'cars' (general statement) — plural issue tied to present tense usage. Also 'my country quite a traffic jam' lacks 'there is' and needs quantifier 'quite a lot of traffic' or 'traffic jams'. Added 'there is' to form correct 'there be' structure and corrected noun phrase.
× So use a bike is uh, suitable.
✓ So using a bike is, uh, suitable.
The structure 'So use a bike is suitable' is incorrect. Use the gerund 'using' to make a noun phrase as subject. Also keep filler 'uh' if spoken. Alternatively: 'So riding a bike is suitable.'
